Step 1 – Sign up for ExpressVPN if you don’t already have an account.
If you are using another firmware such as Tomato, DD-WRT, OpenWRT, Merlin, etc then you will likely need to change the default gateway IP from 192.168.1.1 to .1, where x is a number between 1 and 255 that is different from any other routers or gateways in your network. By default, the ExpressVPN router app firmware assigned itself the IP address 192.168.22.1, which is fine. For example, my main router IP is 192.168.1.1. Note – Make sure that the router IP of your VPN router is on a different subnet than your main router. One network without VPN and a second network with VPN. Then, you have 2 networks that you can connect to. This is the best way to connect a VPN router. VPN router connection methodįor this tutorial, I will connect the EA6200/XAC1200 VPN router as a sub-network from my main router. Anything labelled as Linksys EA6200, AC900, or XAC1200 should work. Note – The EA6200 is sometimes referred to as AC900. Where to buy a cheap EA6200 outside of China? If you find any others, please leave a comment below. I would buy it sooner rather than later because I don’t know any other place you can buy it in China.

July 2018 Update – I can now only find 1 seller on Taobao that has this router for sale. Here is the link to the one I bought (price was 180 CNY, may change in the future). I have confirmed this to be true by purchasing one and flashing the EA6200 ExpressVPN router app firmware myself. If you are in China, there are a few Taobao sellers offering second-hand XAC1200 routers for around 180 CNY.Īccording to these sellers, the XAC1200 has the same hardware as the EA6200 and it can flash the same firmware. If you want a higher end router and are willing to spend more money, I highly recommend the Linksys WRT1900ACS or Linksys WRT3200ACM. This tutorial will show you step-by-step instructions to flash the ExpressVPN router firmware app on a cheap Linksys EA6200/XAC1200 router available on Taobao or eBay.Īlthough this tutorial is for the Linksys EA6200/XAC1200, the steps are similar for the other supported routers. Or, maybe you just prefer to connect all your devices but without running VPN apps that drain your battery and reduce performance on your computer or smartphone?Īlthough you can use a computer as a virtual VPN router, a dedicated VPN router is a much better solution.
Or, perhaps you want to use the best vpn for China on your gaming console? Maybe you would like to use ExpressVPN to watch Netflix in China on your PS4, Xbox, Roku, Chromecast, Smart TV, or other streaming devices? If you want something more high-end, I recommend the Netgear R7000, Linksys WRT1900ACS or WRT3200ACM.

If you do have this version, I did find a workaround to install the v2 beta router app. However, please note that if you get the “Charter version” of the R6300v2, there is no v2 beta router app available for it.
I purchased one on Taobao for around 300 CNY and it’s working quite well. If you are looking for a cheap router, I suggest the Netgear R6300v2. The EA6200/XAC1200 doesn’t seem to be available on Taobao these days. If you are having trouble connecting in China, you can ask the live chat support on the ExpressVPN website for the new v2 beta version.Ĭurrently, both versions are working for me. ExpressVPN has released a new v2 router app that might offer better connectivity for users in China.
